How to Answer a False Accusation of Racism

Yesterday, a student contacted me with a concern that is common among
those taking courses in the social sciences and humanities.

This
particular student is enrolled in an online criminology class taught by a
leftist professor. During a discussion of the Black Lives Matter
movement, one of the more conservative students in her class used the
phrase “all lives matter.” Predictably, the leftist professor objected.
But he went even further by repeatedly accusing the student of racism.
To make matters worse, the ad hominem attacks were made in front of all
the students enrolled in the course. It was part of an online class
“discussion.”

Although the student who contacted me was not the one attacked, she
wanted to know how to confront the professor who was so clearly out of
line. She was understandably reticent to express her own views after
seeing a fellow student attacked in the middle of class discussion.
Given the importance of the issue, I am printing my response to the
student to help other students who are similarly attacked or intimidated
in the classroom:

Dear Amber: The first thing to remember about responding to a false accuser is what not
to do. Above all, you must resist the temptation to accuse the
professor of harassment or of breaking the campus speech code. That is
what leftists do and it is wrong. The best way to respond to bad speech
is with better speech, not censorship.

School Orders Staffer to Remove “Charlie Brown” Christmas Poster

One of the most poignant scenes in “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is
when Linus stands on a stage and recites a passage from the Holy Bible
describing the Christmas story.

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior which is
Christ the Lord. That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown,”
Linus said.
It really does sum up the true meaning – the true reason for the holiday season – the birth of our Lord.

Dedra Shannon, a staffer at Patterson Middle School in Killeen,
Texas, was so inspired by the scene she decided to use images to
decorate the door to the nurse’s office.

The decorations included a picture of Linus, the scrawny Christmas
tree and that classic passage of dialogue about the true meaning of the
holiday.

The decorations were installed on Dec. 5 and on Dec. 7 Ms. Shannon was confronted by the school’s principal.

Muslim cleric: Muslims may dress as priests or rabbis to carry out jihad massacres

The
idea of a Muslim Registry put forth by the Trump campaign has people
wondering if the old internment camps set up for the Japanese during
WWII are about to reopen for Muslims, thanks to the rise in Islamic
terrorism and jihadists posing as refugees. But there is a huge
difference between the Japanese back then and the Muslims today who
represent an ongoing threat to America.

The
idea of temporary internment camps means that when the war is over, the
internees are released back into the population as was done after WWII.
The difference with Muslims is that the ongoing war with Islam will
NEVER be over…

Last night, Megyn Kelly want on NPR and proceeded to smear
and libel me in order to garner favor with the left-wing primitives she
so desperately wishes to get into bed with.

How embarrassing for her. She has the loyalty of an alley cat. One
can only pity those, such as her first husband and Roger Ailes (and an
army of others, I am sure), who trusted and believed in her.
She’s jumped the shark.

In hitting President-elect Trump and supposedly defending the freedom of speech, Megyn Kelly on NPR Wednesday night referred to “Pam [sic] Geller, who there’s no question is a hateful person, who held this Draw Muhammad contest down in Texas.”

Kelly said this in the context of defending the freedom of speech:
“Now she’s a provocateur and she’s not a fan of anyone who’s Muslim from
the sound of what she says, but this is America and she has the right
to say those things. And she has the right to have a contest like that.”

But in smearing me as “hateful,” she demonstrates that she doesn’t
really know what was at stake when Islamic jihadis attacked our free
speech event in Garland.
